With the Zelda Movie announced for 2027 that seems like the most likely date for the next entry into the series. What is the flaw in this logic?

Maybe going by what they did with Mario in 2023 but..
It was 6 years in between ToTK and BotW and prior to that 6 years between BotW and SS
I can see them making smaller scale games like remasters or Echoes and A Link Between Worlds.

All I can really say is it better be good.
Please tell me Nintendo has major creative control over the production. That's the reason we finally got a good Mario movie.

I still have a problem with imagining how the Zelda characters can remotely look believable in live action without feeling uncanny.
Also, a movie of this caliber telling of an epic tale kinda will need more than a short 2 hours movie to feel satisfying without them rushing parts.

This may be a minor thing to most of you but yesterday I noticed that one SNES game was removed from NSO recently, Super Soccer. As far as I can tell Nintendo gave no reasoning for this. Sucks a bit, I liked that game. Had a lot of childhood memories.

Actually, for some Zelda monsters, the uncanny valley could be an advantage. Imagine how much scarier ReDeads, Stalfos or Skulltulas can be in live-action. And of course, Ganon's final form, assuming he does that in the climax, it's kinda integral to him as a character.

Was this not only in JP? [edit: nope. Left western NSO yesterday.]

Maybe but we also know that they sat on BOTW and TOTK to launch with the Switch and an open window respectively. So maybe this time will shorter between entries.

A top-down Zelda or a remake of a 3D Zelda is possible in 2027.
The next 3D game after Tears of the Kingdom? Very little chance. The next new 3D Zelda will likely be a new Link with some new features and the developers need more than a 4 to 4 and a half-year turnaround for that.

Shigeru Miyomoto once said that a delayed game is eventually good, while a bad game is bad forever. Duke Nukem Forever notwithstanding.
